SUMMIT COUNTY NOXIOUS WEEDS
Noxious weeds are more than plants out of place, they’re non-native invasive species that disrupt our native vegetation and ecosystems. They threaten the very reasons we live, work and recreate in Summit County. Any questions, contact Summit County Weed Control at (970) 668-4218. PLEASE DO YOUR PART BY MITIGATING THESE WEEDS ON YOUR PROPERTY BY PULLING AND PUTTING THEM IN THE TRASH. Two species found in the Frisco Terrace neighborhood are False Chamomile (little white daisies) and Yellow Toadflax (yellow snapdragons). |

Please drive slowly in the neighborhood and watch for pedestrians, cyclists, children and pets. At the 2013 Annual Meeting, it was presented and approved to purchase SLOW signs for the neighborhood. Homeowners were given the opportunity to request a sign for their property; to be installed 15 feet off easements. In July 2017, SLOW signs were purchased and installed in the neighborhood.

From [previous] Fire Chief Jeff Berino, LDFD
On July 1, 2015 Lake Dillon Fire received a very favorable rating from the Insurance Services Organization (ISO). ISO rates fire departments on a scale of 1 to 10 with a 10 representing little or no service and a 1 being outstanding. Less than 10% of fire agencies in the country have a 1 or 2 rating. For homes in our subdivisions within 1000 feet of a fire hydrant, our ISO rating has improved from a 5 to a 2. If your home is located more than 1000 feet from a fire hydrant your rating has improved from a 9 to a 2X. Please contact your insurance company to see if they will adjust your homeowners’ rates to reflect these new favorable ratings. Some companies such as State Farm utilize your zip code as a rating instead of ISO. It pays to shop around.
Summit County will once again be offering a free chipping program this summer. Keep an eye out for the dates and take advantage of the program to dispose of slash in your yard. Please do not hesitate to give me a call at 970-262-5104 (work) or email at [email protected] if you have any questions. Thanks for staying safe!
Adopt-a-Hydrant – In the midst of snowstorms, buried hydrants can cause dangerous delays for fire fighters. Help by shoveling out a hydrant near your home while clearing your driveway. We have Town of Frisco hydrants located:
1. On Forest Drive across from church
2. Bottom of Highwood Terrace
3. Corner of Alpine & Wichita
4. East end of Aspen in cul-de-sac
*If you are willing to adopt-a-hydrant, please let a Board Member know. Thank you.
CHICKENS, GOATS AND BEES!

SUMMIT COUNTY WATER AUGMENTATION
(Leasing water rights) The policies and pricing structure to contract for water from Summit County Government have changed. The plan policy, rate schedule, application and instructions are all available at the Summit County Water Augmentation Program webpage. One of the main changes is that they now include hot tub augmentation as an allowable use. Several of our homeowners have gone through leasing augmented well rights and have noted the process is more affordable and simple that previously perceived.
